Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Renting a van in Cork city

    i would need a van in 1 or 2 weeks, since we will be moving.

    problem is, i have a German drivers license for 15 years which does not have an expiry date, and only a debit card.

    I've called many companies here in cork city now, and i can't rent a van with any of them.

    they are either ok with the German drivers license, but want a full credit card, or they are ok with a debit card but want an Irish license.

    how the hell can i get my hands on a van for 2 days or so for an affordable price?

    there is one company in McCurtain Street where i can get a van, but it's 300 Euro.

    Or..

    Could you get someone else to rent the van, and have you as an additional driver.

    Or

    could you rent via Hertz.de or avis.de , or sixt.de etc and select cork as your pickup point.

    Or.

    Could you rent a people carrier and take the seats out.

    Get a revolut card? Transfer on the deposit and refund it back to your account afterwards?

    A Revolut card is still a debit card.

    I got a credit card mainly for car rental and hotel bookings. Even if they do accept debit cards in both situations they could do "pre-authorisation" (with car rental they may call it a "deposit") where double the amount is temporarily debited from your account, which can be a pain depending on the amount.

    Have you tried http://www.drivevanrental.ie ?

    Says they accept Debit Cards, as long as there's enough on the Debit card to cover the rental and the deposit.
